Diana Ra

Biography

Diana Ra (Rabinovich) has been on a long journey to becoming a professional artist. Years of professional training and a personal quest for unique expression have helped her develop a style that conveys her impressions of the world with sensuality and emotion.

Diana was born and raised in the former Soviet Union. Since a very young age, Diana always carried a drawing pad with her. Although, her parents didn’t approve of an uncertain future, they saw her artistic potential and didn’t stop her from spending time in her uncle’s studio. A known local artist, he taught her the basics of drawing and painting.

It took her years to be able to focus on art full time. The experiences along the way have helped shape her creative self. After spending childhood and adolescence in Kazakhstan, she moved to Greece and eventually to the United States. She earned degrees in International Business as well as Fine Arts and Graphic Design.

Diana ultimately found herself in the Chicago area where she worked as a corporate graphic designer and continued painting. Years later, she decided to focus on her life passion and reestablish herself as an artist.

Today Diana focuses primarily on landscapes working with oil and acrylics....
